+ | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
+ | $[[encryptparm]](<nickname>) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Description:====== | ||
+ | Given a <nickname>, if you are having a SED encrypted conversation with that | ||
+ | <nickname> on the current server, this function returns the metadata about | ||
+ | that conversation as a three qword list. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ Word ^ Description ^ | ||
+ | | 0 | The nickname | | ||
+ | | 1 | The cipherkey | | ||
+ | | 2 | The external encryption program | | ||
+ | | 3 | The cipher type (NOT CURRENTLY USED -- MAY BE USED IN FUTURE) | | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since the return value is a qword list, if any of the values contain spaces, | ||
+ | they will be enclosed in double quotes. The double quotes are not | ||
+ | considered part of the words. Use $qword() to extract the values from | ||
+ | this list. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the future, word 3 will contain the cipher type, but for now, it is not | ||
+ | included. You should be prepared for this eventuality. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the future, this function will work for encryption types other than SED, | ||
+ | but for now, nothing other than SED is supported. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======History:====== | ||
+ | This function first appeared in epic4-1.1.3. | ||
